Good Morning lovely blogging friends!
I have a card to share with you today!
This was a commission for a 60th Birthday.
The card base is one of my new 8x8in squares!
I'm still coming to terms with all that space!
Isn't she just adorable!
I coloured her up with a mix of Promarkers & Flexmarkers
then inked the edges with a little ink pad.
The Chinese roses & flourishes were cut with Marianne Designs dies
I used some Magic Mesh which was in my mystery parcel from
The papers are Paper Dasies from sugar plum paperie here
The sentiment ticket is from The Crafty Pad Designs
the ribbon is from my stash & was recycled from some gift wrapping.
I decorated the inside of the card using the same design!
I have to admit that when I showed the card was to the lady who ordered it,
she decided that it would be perfect for her DIL's 30th Birthday &
the age was altered to suit! Any ideas for a 60th card?? lol
Thanks for sparing the time to pop in!
I hope you like her.

Dawn, I love your project! It is whimsical and full of wonderful color. I think your composition and construction are fabulous. You have chosen great embellishments that compliment your overall design, It is hard for us, to leave space on our cards, isn't it. CAS drives me crazy, but I love it because it really forces us to recognize the design power of empty space. You've inspired me to stop cutting my 8x8 sheets and try to do a CAS project and see if I can hold on to my sanity and design aesthetic.
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing along with us at Jackson's Digital Expression. We hope to see you next week!
